The best solution for flexible coupons and gift cards for WooCommerce

Smart Coupons is one of the best selling WooCommerce plugins ever. It is the most comprehensive coupon, discount, gift card and store credit solution for WooCommerce.

More than 10,000 WooCommerce store owners like you use Smart Coupons to increase sales, reward customers and create loyalty.

People say that Smart Coupons is so amazing that it pays for itself. People double their sales with Smart Coupons during the holiday season and attribute 20% sales to Smart Coupons month on month. If we put it together, that’s probably billions of dollars of extra revenue!

Backstory: from a failed holiday season sale to record-breaking sales…

Back during the 2012 holiday season, we wanted to drive sales for new products. We tried a lot of things, but sales weren’t picking up.

Then we got the idea to send discount coupons to existing customers. Unique coupon codes for each customer. This way we acknowledge customers for their support and create a special offer for them.

As we scampered around to send this campaign just before the holiday season, we realized a big problem.

WooCommerce has a solid core coupon system. But it needed manual coupon creation and dispatch.

The process was to create a coupon, enter a unique coupon code, setup all coupon options, restrict the coupon to customer’s email and then save. I’d even have to keep a track of all this and send emails to customers – ensuring nothing goes wrong.

It’d take me days to do this. And I could see how disastrous this would be for us…

So what did I do?

I created Smart Coupons!

It created and emailed thousands of coupons in a matter of minutes.

And yeah, we also recorded the highest ever sales that season!

All thanks to coupons. And the little WooCommerce plugin I built.

Bonus: secret “Take My Sales Through The Roof” strategies

Here are some quick actions you can take on your store to grow sales and wow customers – even today!

Strategy #1: Smartly Priced Discounted Credits
Find out your average order size – let’s say $175. Create a Store Credit / Gift Certificate coupon for a higher amount – $250. Create a new product and price it at a value slightly above average order size. In this case, the new product can be priced at $200. Ensure the discount is lucrative enough. What you’ve just done is attracted your customers with a good discount, made them pay in advance, and continue spending in future to deplete their credit balance.

Strategy #2: Offer Discount On Higher Priced Product While Purchasing Lower Priced Product
Create a discount coupon and allow usage only on a specific higher priced product. Link this coupon with a related lower priced product. This way more people will buy the lower priced product and many of them will convert to a higher priced product as well.

Strategy #3: Offer Multiple Credit Coupons With One Product
More the merrier! Create multiple coupons of varying denominations and offer them on one or more products. Customers always like a steal!

Strategy #4: Holiday Season Gift Certificates / Time Limited Offers
Create a discount/credit coupon that is valid between a particular time range. Smartly price the coupon. Promote the offer in advance, you can even keep raising offer price as coupon start time comes closer. This will create scarcity and prompt people to buy more and buy earlier.

Strategy #5: Partner with a “Deals” site
Generate a bunch of coupons – and export them to a CSV file. Now share this CSV file with the “deals” site, so they can issue one coupon to each purchaser. You can import the CSV file back into your store so when buyers use the coupon, they get the promised deal. To make for a seamless experience, give a direct link to the product on offer with the generated coupon in the URL.

Strategy #6: Create an “Available Offers” page on your site
Create a new page in WordPress, link it from a prominent place on your site. And use shortcodes to display coupons for offers you have currently available. You can even use images, link them to a product page and pass the coupon code in the URL. People looking for deals will find this irresistible!

What is great about this product?

Works as advertised with great support if required

How could it be improved?

A simple list view for a Specific Coupon’s Usage or Store Credit Usage history is missing. Sometimes admin needs to know where a specific coupon has been used. Currently this requires orders to be exported and filtered for the coupon in question. Especially Store Credit Users would find it handy to see the history of credit received and used, which would avoid such queries to admin, who also do not have a fast and easy way to provide this information.

Works well. Does what it says.

How could it be improved?

I wish I could adjust the wording of the emails that get sent notifying the user that they received a coupon. Also, there seems to be an incompatibility with Handsome Checkout that forced me to use CSS to hide the questions about where to send the coupon codes, because it wasn’t working.

Works intuitively, and support is great

The plugin is easy to install and configure, the tutorials are quite easy to understand, and there are options for almost any scenario. And, if stuck, support is both fast and friendly. Would definitely recommend.

I haven't discovered all the features yet but what I've used I find great and already see people using the 'new customer' coupon.
I've had contact with the maker of this plugin and must say that his help was perfect and quick. I definitely recommend giving the smart coupons a try!

How could it be improved?

I told the maker of the plugin what I thought could be improved and he did that right away. So right now, I don’t have other ideas what could be improved.

What is great about this product?

Is this app perfect? Is any app perfect? No, but this app incorporates more features than any other coupon app we have found, and we are finding clever marketing uses for them. Having the ability to attach a product to a coupon code has endless possibilities. And offering discount codes that can include or exclude shipping is brilliant. What really gets the 5-star rating is the customer support! Customer support is outstanding. These guys really understand the app, and understand an issue you describe. Support is accurate, relevant and prompt. Please don't change this and I will be a customer for many years.

How could it be improved?

Allow for easier customization of emails sent from app to customer. Easier customization of, or more options for smart coupon design. Still a 5-star app though!

What is great about this product?

Purchased this to offer gift certificates, but find the ease of other uses make it a keeper. I am giving customers $1 credit for each product review and a $5 credit for finding errors and problems. This plugin allows me to add a username to the credit and allow them to use it only once and specify that they can use it along with a weekly sale coupon. I also give every new customer a 10% discount but don't allow it to be used with any other coupon. Not only was all this super easy for me to setup and maintain, but this is easier than promo code for users because all they have to do it click on the coupon.

How could it be improved?

I would like to change the text ‘click on a coupon to apply’ to something like ‘click on a coupon to apply to type the promo code on the coupon into the promo code field’. This is because sometimes clicking on a coupon doesn’t work (maybe because of browser cache issues) and while they can type in the promo code on the coupon to apply it, the text doesn’t let the customer know this is possible.

This is a powerful tool! I put it to use right away and haven't even scratched the surface of its potential. Wonderful support! I had a CSS issue with the gift certificate on the checkout page and Mansi responded to my support request and solved the problem quickly. I weighed the pros and cons of several different products before choosing this one. I'm glad I did.

I’m sure I will think of some things after using it longer than a week. 😉

Works very well adding specific features and parameters to coupons in WooCommerce. We use the feature that lets you send out a coupon with a specific product order all the time, and just set up a Gift Certificate product, which was really easy! Support is great and quick. Very happy with our purchase!

How could it be improved?

Perhaps a little more customization on the coupons themselves would be nice so that we have more control over the look if it. The latest version is definitely a step in that direction but having more thorough customization (for those that want it) would be great!

Works really well with Woo Commerce... Just what my client wanted

How could it be improved?

I had a slight configuration issue (on the variable product – you need to set each of the amounts for every variable otherwise it shows out of stock) but the support was excellent and resolved it very quickly

Very flexible. Can be tricky because you can add coupons and store credits in so many ways, but their support is very responsive and will walk you through an questions. I would ask for more documentation, but that's only because we use Smart Coupons for very specific uses. When we wanted to make sure we were setting the coupon up right, they replied to us within a day and got the answers we needed.

How could it be improved?

More documentation about specific coupon needs, based on user questions.
